Our Mission

Group support for women who have had Breast Cancer and related treatment including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Trained Reach to Recovery Volunteers visit newly diagnosed women with breast cancer upon the request of the physician, patient, family, or friends. Volunteers who are Breast Cancer survivors themselves, take a tote bag containing a small pillow, information pamphlets, and are prepared to listen and give emotional reinforcement. To educate and inform the public about early detection, current treatments and research of Breast Cancer.
